Erki Kasemets

2002 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Meelis Salujärv

Among his artwork are the following: documenting his personal life, Theatre Polygon, garbage art, performances, machines, kinetic art, games and inventing game rules.

Life for rent

Original title: Me ise ennast

2001 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Mart Taevere

The documentary tries to find answers to the question why the number of suicides is so high in Estonia while investigating the stories of those who have attempted suicide.

Every year there are almost 600 suicide attemps which is the same number as people who died in the tragic sinking of the ship "Estonia". What can be the reason for this? Why does this sad statistics show Estonia as a leader in the number of suicides? Is it the loss of security for some layers of fast changing society; or is it the nearly six-month-long Nordic darkness - a combination of the depressive darkness and deeply introverted personalities? The answers to these questions are investigated through the stories of three people who have attempted suicide.

Master and Slave

Original title: Isand ja ori

1992 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde

Documentary dedicated to the memory of Jüri Müür. The film about how the master of land - the farmer – becomes the slave of land.

The documentary has documented rural life in Estonia in 1991 "from the idyllic to the idiotic" when there was no Land Reform Act. Restoring farms have started on the level of instincts, with unpolished legislation and without the new land readjustment. Perhaps just based on the farmer's sense of mission ... The filmmakers introduce three new farmers who try to build their homes without much thinking of their health.
